The System Says My Childhood Sweetheart Is My Future Blind Date - Chapter 13

The next morning, Friday.

As soon as Li Zhi opened the door, she saw Shen Yuan standing in the hallway, instantly waking her from her morning drowsiness.

“In broad daylight, I thought I’d seen a ghost.”

Hearing this, Shen Yuan lowered his voice and said mysteriously, “This kind of talk isn’t allowed on this floor.”

Li Zhi suddenly realized something, shrank back, and gave Shen Yuan a playful slap.

“Don’t scare me!” “

Hehe, I’ll treat you to breakfast.”

Li Zhi didn’t immediately agree, but looked at Shen Yuan suspiciously.

“When did you become so rich?”

Based on Li Zhi’s understanding of Shen Yuan, this guy didn’t actually have much pocket money. He

basically spent it all each week.

Shen Yuan couldn’t very well say he had a system, so he told Li Zhi the system’s transfer notes.

“I bought funds, and I made quite a bit.”

Hearing this, Li Zhi’s first reaction was that Shen Yuan had been scammed.

Seeing Li Zhi’s expression, Shen Yuan immediately said, “Hey! It was a fund I bought through Alipay, a legitimate channel.”

“What did you buy?”

Faced with Li Zhi’s questioning, Shen Yuan’s lips curled up: “I’m not telling you.”

“Hmph! Fine, I won’t tell you then. Go cry if you get scammed!”

Li Zhi walked out of the elevator, dissatisfied.

…

“Perfectly timed!”

Zhou Shaojie plopped down in his chair just as the morning reading bell rang.

“Ah Jie, I suspect you’re waiting for the morning reading bell in some dark corner of the teaching building every day.”

“What are you talking about? Am I some kind of goblin from the sewers?”

Zhou Shaojie frowned: “When have you ever not arrived at the classroom just in time?”

Shen Yuan was taken aback.

It seemed true.

Whenever Zhou Shaojie left his seat, he would return just as the bell rang.

“Damn, he’s got some skills!”

Zhou Shaojie made a few hand gestures: “Basic stuff, calm down.”

Shen Yuan was about to say something when he saw Sister Lan enter the classroom and immediately pick up her book to read aloud.

Today’s morning reading was Chinese.

Although Sister Lan was easy to talk to, she wasn’t his older cousin after all.

Shen Yuan could only take out his book and diligently recite the text.

After the morning reading, the classroom quickly became lively.

Shen Yuan asked with a grin, “Ah Jie, why do you always stay outside for so long? Are you dating someone?”

Zhou Shaojie felt like a stray dog on the street, hit on the head by Shen Yuan’s words.

“We’re in our final year of high school! The most important thing in our final year is studying! What’s the point of dating!”

Shen Yuan smiled, “You’re in a hurry.”

“So eager!”

Just as Zhou Shaojie was about to say something, Yang Ze in the front row turned around and teased Zhou Shaojie, “Ah Jie, still can’t forget her?”

“Yeah, I can’t forget you!”

Zhou Shaojie quickly pounced on Yang Ze, “Quick! Let me see!! A whole summer has passed, what changes have you made!”

“No! Brother Jie! No, Brother Jie!”

Yang Ze’s hesitant yet welcoming voice came from the front row.

It was clear he was enjoying it.

Damn.

What kind of bromance is this?

Shen Yuan turned to Li Zhi: “How long have they had these symptoms?”

Li Zhi blinked, thought for a moment, and said, “They started in the first year of high school.”

“That’s true love,”

Shen Yuan said, giving Li Zhi a flirtatious wink: “Baby, I’m truly in love with you too.”

“Go to hell, you bastard!”

Shen Yuan immediately grinned.

But soon, his grin faded.

Before the bell rang, Old Zhou came into the classroom with a stack of test papers.

“Weekly quizzes in the first two periods, do them carefully, no whispering.”

Watching the test papers cascade down in front of him, Shen Yuan felt a little heavy-hearted.

Math was something he really couldn’t do.

Of course, the most crucial thing was the two guys next to him.

Alexander.

“Anyone who didn’t receive a test paper?”

“Here, here! Two are missing!”

The weekly test wasn’t too difficult.

After all, it was a test prepared by the subject teacher, not the school-wide standardized test.

But Shen Yuan’s math foundation was weak, and he didn’t have enough time.

Two class periods, even including breaks, only amounted to 110 minutes.

In less than two hours, Shen Yuan couldn’t possibly finish.

The first multiple-choice question wasn’t a problem.

It was just a simple math concept question; a quick glance would give him the answer.

The second multiple-choice question was also not a problem.

A little calculation would give him the answer.

Shen Yuan took the questions on the test paper seriously.

For the last multiple-choice question, he chose blindly.

Anyway, calculating wouldn’t necessarily make him right.

After the multiple-choice questions came the fill-in-the-blank questions, and the logic of the fill-in-the-blank questions wasn’t much different from the

multiple-choice questions. If he felt he hadn’t even understood the question, he should just pass.

If he couldn’t even calculate it, he would only get a random number.

It was better to just randomly fill in a square root of 2; maybe he would actually get it right.

Although the weekly test wasn’t particularly difficult, by the time Shen Yuan finished the fill-in-the-blank questions, the second period had already started.

Clearly, he wouldn’t be able to finish the more challenging problems.

His math foundation was too weak.

The first problem was practically a freebie; with careful attention, there shouldn’t have been any problems.

But the further he went, the less he could understand the questions.

Let alone solid geometry.

Auxiliary lines?

Huh?

Soon, Shen Yuan felt the pressure of Zhou Shaojie’s gaze from his left.

Just a glance was enough for Zhou Shaojie to shake his head.

Clearly, the all-around genius couldn’t stand watching Shen Yuan’s problem-solving process.

“Tsk.”

Just as Zhou Shaojie was about to say something, Shen Yuan heard a soft cough from his right.

Zhou Shaojie immediately shut his mouth.

It wasn’t that the all-around genius’s pressure was too strong; it was mainly due to the special relationship between Shen Yuan and Li Zhi.

His childhood friend clearly wanted Shen Yuan to solve the problems on his own, so he shouldn’t interfere.

After giving Shen Yuan a knowing look, Zhou Shaojie continued watching him work on the problems.

The gazes of the two war gods met, and Shen Yuan felt immense pressure.

He couldn’t laugh anymore; his family was about to cry—he’d been scored 80th in school!

On the podium, Old Zhou naturally noticed the three students below.

But after just one glance, he lowered his head and ignored them.

He had specifically arranged for Shen Yuan to sit between Li Zhi and Zhou Shaojie.

Old Zhou had seen Shen Yuan’s final exam scores from the previous semester.

It could be said that Shen Yuan’s biggest weaknesses were in math and physics.

Chinese, English, chemistry, and biology were all related to memory in some aspects; as long as these knowledge points were memorized, there wouldn’t be any problems with the basics.

And Shen Yuan’s strength lay precisely in memory.

The rest would require strengthening through three rounds of review.

As for math and physics, Shen Yuan was just above the passable level.

If Shen Yuan could improve his math and physics, his score would definitely remain above 620.

The two best math students in the entire Class 15 were sitting next to him.

This could be considered Old Zhou’s intentional support.

As for whether he was worried about Shen Yuan and Li Zhi, his childhood sweethearts, dating…

Old Zhou believed that a girl who could say things like “550 points is a stray dog,” “600 points is barely human,” and “650 points is easy for anyone” wouldn’t be interested in Shen Yuan.

Oh, this wasn’t meant to specifically attack Shen Yuan.

Li Zhi was directly launching a barrage of insults.

This was also one of the reasons why Li Zhi had few friends in Class 15.

At 18, in the prime of life, there were plenty of pretty girls in high school.

Who would be so foolish as to approach a girl who categorized themselves as “human-like”?

Old Zhou also hoped that having Shen Yuan sit next to Li Zhi would help ease Li Zhi’s interpersonal relationships.

So far, it seemed to be having some effect.

Li Zhi was now reserving all her sharp tongue for Shen Yuan.
